iOS, no question about it, I have both an Android phone and an iPad, the Android phone has "better" specs, yet 3D games are choppy on it (multiplatform titles like Crazy Taxy).

Less demanding titles work fine on both, however, there is less choice on Android... yet, if you want emulators without jailbreaking, Android is your only choice (it means you can run all your classic favorite titles, any good phone will do it).

Agreed, though emulaters and touchscreens don't really go well together.

Most emulators support bluetooth gamepads (f.e. PS3 controllers), both on iOS and on Android. You need a jailbreak on iOS to get access to emulators and to set up a PS3 controller as MFi controller, but most Android devices also need root to connect a wireless gamepad... so not much difference between the two.

iOS for sure... much better point&click-adventure selection (I love these games!) and exclusives like République and Oceanhorn:

I would say iOS because of less fragmentation and Apple's GameCenter. Androids have emulators though and that is a big plus.

Well Android is on a wider range of devices so that's always a plus.

In terms of performance Nvidia Shield Tablet is the current king, so... yeah. Not to mention you can connect it with HDMI and play it like a console, play PC games remotely, etc..
